All safety briefing are the same so simply attend another team’s briefing to get your wristband. Please be aware that if you arrive after the end of Round 1, it will not be possible to get a safety briefing or participate in the event.

Wristbands do not fall off, they can only be removed by force. Under no circumstances can wristbands be removed and given to another person. If a wristband is on too tight, please report to Event Control with your wrist band still on so we can replace it with a similar band. Please be advised that removing a wrist band yourself may result in you being excluded from further participation in the dragon boating.
